[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Fucking hell who the hell is this bloke on football focus, he takes forever to make his point lol.

Who’s the bloke? I dont watch any BBC programmes. Don’t want to be charged of being a child molester by association.

 

[Blue Til Death]

And he wore 7 a few times as well.

And 6

I have no idea.

 

[Centurions]

I have no idea.

He didn't bang on about the stairs going up to the bedrooms by any chance?

No he was on there though. I popped it in but it's truly terrible.

 

[mad4city]

Even if we take this at face value, the news is expecting football to be clear of every bad trait the human condition has acquired over god knows how long?

Surely nobody is that stupid to respond to soundbites that are as meaningless as they sound?

Exactly.(and please bear with me here)
A headline in the Irish Daily Mail this morning announced almost 20% of Irish youths (actually just shy of 19% of 18-24yr olds would welcome a Donald Trump visit to the country. And hey, look, maybe 19% would).
At the same time, just over 18% of the same demographic said they'd oppose and demonstrate any Trump visit.
Kinda standard stuff for kids of any age, on most political subjects, I would have thought.
Yet, the Irish Daily Mail chose that headline...

To get back to your point (thanks for sticking with me). The fuckers propagandise a mindset and then act surprised when a certain amount of society demonstrate that way of thinking.

I'm an old man now - and one of no great influence too - but Media Studies shouldn't just be a univerisity course anymore. It really should start in primary school.

EDIT: all typos corrected now I think. Sorry about that.
It's almost like I'm drunk in Tenerife after a 4-0 away win this evening.

 

[manimanc]

Get this.
I've just had a phone call from 606 asking if I'd go on and talk about our game today.
Politely declined as I told them it's only the 1st game and ring me back in 10 games time.
Odd.

 

[Gundoggin]

So all the red cartel “journo” bell ends had us down for 6th ………….

 

[Blumooniac]

There is no match report on the Daily Fail. We have obviously started well. Lol.

[nmc]

As anticipated Rooney is bloody awful on MotD.

 

[mscenterh750]

I thought the commentary on sky was decent today.

 

[deano ou812]

It was once they knew wolves weren’t getting back into the game..

 

[Donmcfc]

As anticipated Rooney is bloody awful on MotD.

They are paying him £800,000. What an absolute disgrace.

 

[chesterbells]

Him and Shearer as a combo definitely won’t keep people watching.

You’re the first person to quote that figure as fact, previously it was “believed to be” and “reportedly”. What’s your source?

GB News?

 

[Donmcfc]

The Manchester Evening News, The Sun, The Daily Mail. If it's reportedly quoted then it's been reported. I wasn't present in the actual fucking negotiations.

It has been reported in the Daily Mail, The Sun and the Manchester Evening News. These organisations report news stories. That's what they do. Once they have reported their story it is reportedly a fact, or so I believe.
